Coaches gather for Carr Foundation event

Brayden Carr’s memory remains alive. Some of the country’s top basketball coaches are making sure of that.

Florida head coach Billy Donovan, Indiana’s Tom Crean, NBA coach Stan Van Gundy, former St. John’s coach and ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla, and longtime NBA assistant Kevin Eastman will headline the second annual Brayden Carr Foundation Coaches Clinic Sept. 21 at Rutgers’ Louis Brown Athletic Center in honor of the son of Rhode Island assistant coach Jimmy Carr, who died at the age of 2 in the spring of 2011.

“It keeps his name alive and it keeps his smile bright,” Jimmy Carr told The Post’s Zach Braziller. “It’s our opportunity to give back and helps others, which is what it’s really all about.”

Jimmy Carr and his wife Natalie started the foundation last year to support parents and their children with seizure conditions. They just began sponsoring a college scholarship through the non-profit charitable organization among other humanitarian efforts.

The clinic, which featured Bob Hurley Sr., John Calipari, Jeff Van Gundy, Bill Self, Larry Brown and Mike Rice last year, drew more than 500 coaches and raised $100,000 for the foundation, Jimmy Carr said.

They hope to surpass that number this time. Already, scores of high school, college, pro and youth-level coaches have signed up for the event. Registration is open the day of the clinic.

“It was something my wife and I wanted to do to give back and make sure his name is always associated with something good,” said Jimmy Carr, who spent 12 years as an assistant coach at Rutgers before joining Danny Hurley at Rhode Island. “We’re always looking to make it bigger and better. We want to make sure it’s a first-class event.”

The fee is $150 per person and includes a continental breakfast, lunch and snacks. The clinic runs from 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. For more information email info@braydencarrfoundation.org.

Movie rights for Negron memoirs on the block

He made hits out of “The Hunger Games” and “Hugo,” and now Jason Dravis, president of Monteiro Rose Dravis literary agency in California, is working to sell the movie rights to “Yankee Miracles,” the memoir by longtime Yankees adviser Ray Negron. The book details the life of Negron, whose life changed in 1973 when Yankees principal owner George Steinbrenner caught him spray-painting Yankee Stadium and, instead of pressing charges, made Negron a team batboy. Negron shares some intimate memories of his times with The Boss, Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin and many others. … Mets fans looking for an oasis from yet another miserable season can find some relief on Tuesday, when a pair of videos by MLB Productions and A&E Home Video treats hit the market. For those with larger budgets, the “Mets 50th Anniversary Collector’s Set” features 10 DVDs with more than 24 hours of highlights, including five full game broadcasts. Those looking to spend less can get the “Mets 50 Greatest Players” DVD, which features the top 50 as selected by a panel including The Post’s own Mike Vaccaro.

Dickey inspires ‘Knuckleball Day’

As New York baseball fans root for R.A. Dickey to get to 20 wins and maybe the Cy Young award, SNY and Mayor Bloomberg are lending a hand. SNY will be taping a special show with three of the greatest knuckleballers of all time — Dickey, Tim Wakefield and Phil Niekro — for air later this fall, and the mayor will proclaim Sept. 20 “Knuckleball Day” in New York. Both are tied to the release of the documentary “Knuckleball!” which begins its video-on-demand sale and its run at the IFC Center that day. Kevin Burkhardt will join the guys for the special, which will air later this fall. For all the details on where to see the film go to http://www.knuckleballmovie.com/see-knuckleball.html.

Mentor honors legend Russell

A collection of sports champions including Reggie Jackson, Jim Brown and Julius Erving were among those on hand Monday to honor Bill Russell. The two-day second annual MENTOR’s Champions Golf Challenge at Friar’s Head featured a celebrity roast hosted by Samuel L. Jackson and The Golf Channel’s David Feherty and a day of golf. Not surprisingly, Charles Barkley was at the center of much of the ribbing. Jackson, commenting on Barkley’s notoriously ugly golf swing, said, “I remember seeing footage of you being good. It was in black and white.” The one-of-a-kind golf event raised money for MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership. For more, visit http://www.mentoring.org. … Bills running back C.J. Spiller dined with Grandstand Sports CEO Howie Schwartz at TAO the night before running for 169 yards in a 48-28 loss to the Jets.

Battle of sexes at Forsgate CC

Golf Channel star David Feherty will provide on-the-course analysis for Forsgate’s “Battle of the Sexes,’’ which will raise money for Make-A-Wish New Jersey and other local charities supported by the Forsgate Foundation. For more information, call (732) 656-8911 or go to http://www.forsgatecc.com.

“We are very excited to grow our family of athletic teams at Brooklyn College,” athletic director Bruce Filosa said. “With the success of our athletics program across the board, we will look for nothing but great things from our new soccer program.”

Brooklyn College is not the only CUNY institution that has caught the bug. Medgar Evers College in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, and Lehman College in the Bronx have followed suit. In the 1990s, the Brooklyn Bridges attempted to put a women’s soccer team on the map, implementing a Division I program in 1991-92, then Division III from ’94-95 and a club team in ’98-99 seasons, but the programs never caught momentum.

Keep your eyes on Selah Flores, who helped Telecommunications High School win the PSAL Division B Championships last year, when the lady Bulldogs, 0-1-1, host York College on Friday.

Steiner puts ‘Balls’ in play

Brandon Steiner’s new book, “You Gotta Have Balls,” is dedicated to his late mother Evelyn, a hard-driving businesswoman who hammered home the phrase and taught the invaluable life lessons that paved the way to the building of an empire now celebrating its 25-year anniversary.

“My mother was a women’s libber way before there was any such thing,” Steinber told The Rumble. “She was fearless. She was just a real, real bright businessman. She was relentless.”

The book will launch tomorrow.

“At the end of the day,” Steiner said, “people have their favorite moment [after marriage and the kids getting born, of course], whether it’s the Giants winning the Super Bowl, Rangers winning the Cup … at the end of the day, I want to extend those moments and make sure they relive those moments every day in their office or man cave.”

Steiner details his rise from a one-man shop in a corner office to the head of a $25 million company, Steiner Sports, that has sold millions of dollars in stadium dirt, most notably from Yankee Stadium; legitimized and revolutionized the memorabilia industry; developed team partnerships with such storied franchises as the Yankees, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cowboys and Notre Dame: made game-used product (Derek Jeter cleats, anyone?) a household name and has exclusive marketing or collectibles deals with such iconic sports figures as Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Eli Manning, Mark Messier and more than 6,000 athletes and coaches.

The book can serve as a primer for growing a business and understanding how the sports marketing world works. “You Gotta Have Balls” is available at Steinersports.com or your local book store.
